it worked out pretty well. she defended the base. she maintained security for everything on hanscom. i worked for colonel vogel right here. he's the commander of the base. jim: the hanscom commander says many on the base can't recall such a loss in decades. >> the support that we receive to help our airmen get through this tragic time has been worthwhile. jim: while the details of the crash are still under investigation, the focus here on helping each other through the ultimate sacrifice. >> she was strong-hearted as hell. she would help anyone through any situation. it's just the way she was. even when she needed help, she did it herself. she was so resilient. jim: as the flags here at hanscom remain at half mast, randy and other members of the hanscom community will head to dover air force base tomorrow for the dignified transfer bringing back the remains of first class air airmen ksey ruiz and senior airmen nathan sartain. at hanscom air force base, i'm jim lokay, wcvb, newscenter 5.

the brunt of a stubborn storm. downtown charleston is closed to incoming traffic. rain has washed out some bridges, flooded roads, and left some drivers stranded. the torrential, record-setting rains are causing issues as far north as new jersey. president obama has declared a state of emergency in south carolina and ordered federal aid to help state and local efforts. antoinette: we've been getting our fair share of rain here. luckily that's starting to push away. danielle: we have a low chance of seeing some rain today. maybe in the form of some drizzle by the coastline but otherwise a lot of us seeing some breaks of sunshine. antoinette: she was so excited about this. danielle: blue skies, yes. the forecast is coming together. everybody likes me again. let's talk about it. but the rain is going to be likely as we go through the next couple days. at least sunday and monday. it's a very low risk though. really just isolated drizzle today along the east coast. and then tomorrow it's mainly southeastern mass that has a chance of seeing some light drizzle.

clouds and then some clearing, we're going to drop back into the 30's up through the merrimack valley so it's a cool one out there. and then tomorrow with a northerly wind, temperatures will warm into the low 60's. again hurricane warning up now for bermuda giving the initial rain bands over it right now and hurricane force winds expected later this afternoon. you can see those winds upwards of 115. that will quickly clear out of here. and then behind i, it passes by us on monday. we start to see some sunshine and thoaps winds really back off on tuesday. take a look. we drop back. we have light winds out there which will be very, very nice and welcomed. i can tell you that. and temperatures start to warm because of that too. into the upper 60's on tuesday. low 70's by wednesday. antoinette and frank. antoinette: thank you, danielle. time right now is 8:15. here are some of the stories we are following right now. frank: one person is dead and eight others are injured after a gas explosion in new york city. it happened inside a three-story apartment building in brooklyn. the front of the building was blown into the street. fire officials suspect a

recently disconnected stove may have caused the blast. the person killed, a woman in her 60's, lived on the floor above. antoinette: another shooting on an arizona freeway. but investigators do not believe this incident is connected with the dozen of other highway shootings over the past few weeks. a driver claims someone fired off seven shots at his car. investigators believe the shooting may be a case of road rage. the victim believes the other driver was angry because he was not going fast enough. frank: state officials in washington are suspending duck tours in seattle. the move comes after a deadly accident last month. five people were killed and dozens more hurt when one of the duck vehicles crashed into a tour bus. now the state wants the company's entire fleet inspected. the tour operator had already suspended the rides out of respect for the victims. trying to access your wifi router. cybersecurity firm symantec say these hackers are actually

watching pope francis speak to a joint session of congress. the next day, he resigned. although boehner claims the decision was finalized months earlier, while listening to the pope's call for a renewed spirit but wonder if the speaker was reminded just how dismal that legislative body he presides during boehner's five-year tenure as speaker, a small but group of representatives has leadership. boehner's been forced to repeatedly engage in ideologically-driven-- but politically unwinnable-- battles, one of which resulted in a damaging government shutdown in 2013. this fall promises more of the same on capitol hill. boehner has had enough. and who can blame him? whatever you may think about his leadership skills, few would accuse boehner of not caring deeply about the institution of congress. nevertheless, he knows firsthand just how far the public's respect for the house and senate has plunged. it's no coincidence that all three of the leading g.o.p.

never held elective office. boehner also pulled no punches, referring to ultra-conservatives as "false prophets" willing to compromise less and less and holding little value at all for actual governance. by the end of october, such scorched-earth, political zealotry will no longer be boehner's problem, resting instead with the new speaker and ultimately the nation as well. pope francis called on congress to cooperate "generously for the public good." although that's unlikely given the recent past, here's hoping its most intractable members heed his words, if not their own outgoing speaker's final and telling gesture. p since 1961, pearle vision has provided the neighborhood with expert eye care. p

about the clearing skies all morning. we saw that live picture from worcester and it's blue out there. danielle: it's blue. the sun is finally breaking free. i love it because we haven't seen it in so long. antoinette: it's been a while. danielle: it's been cloudy and cool and damp. today mainly dry everywhere. the only exception may be the east coast of massachusetts as we go through the afternoon. here is why. a stationary front is pulling away from us. but we still have pretty strong winds out of the north and east. as we travel over this water, they bring in low-level clouds and low-level moisture so that's why i say there could be some patchy drizzle. otherwise though, breaks of sun the farther north and west you go. and because of that, temperatures starting out in the 40's up through jaffrey. 41 there. 44 orange. 44 in fitchburg. 41 in worcester. as we go through the next 12 hours in worcester, temperatures only warming up into the low 50's. which do see mostly cloudy skies through the day today.

area, low to mid 50's. maybe a few upper 50's on the cape and low 60's on nantucket. but a major warm-up is coming. we'll talk about that as well as hurricane joaquin ahead. frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. right now the pentagon is investigating a deadly air strike in afghanistan. 19 people are dead after the doctors without borders clinic was hit mull tip the strikes began before dawn yesterday and lasted for nearly ial times. 45 minutes. among those killed were 12 of the charity group's staff members. antoinette: the search for a missing cargo ship lost at sea during hurricane joaquin picks up again this morning. the coast guard found a life ring from the "el faro" floating in the ocean. the search suspended last night because of high winds and rough seas. four of the 33 sailors on that ship headed for puerto rico are from maine. two of the crew members, dylan meklin and danielle ranolph, are from rockland. captain michael davidson is from windham. and the fourth mainer on the ship is michael holland from wilton.

friends of the missing sailors are hoping and praying for the ship's safe return. >> you think about the worst but those guys are out there doing what they're trained to do. antoinette: while the discovery of the ship's life ring is significant, search crews say because of the high winds and rough seas, it could have easily blown off the ship. frank: boston police are searching for a suspect wanted for a brazen carjacking. investigators are just releasing this surveillance video of the suspect. a woman claims she was parking her car in the south end when a man pushed his way into her car. she managed to get away. the car was found later on peterbough street where it had been set on fire. police also released this closer shot of the suspect. the images captured just before or after the incident. anyone with information is asked to give police a call. antoinette: we're learning more about the heroes in the oregon community college shooting. from the man who confronted the shooter to a woman who tried to save her friends. we're also learning more about how the gunman died. this nursing student can't

law enforcement was on the scene within six minutes. two minutes after that, the gunman was down. >> the medical examiner has reported to us that the cause of death was suicide. antoinette: the shooter lived with his mother and had once tried to become a soldier. but in 2008 just one month into basic training, the military discharged him for failing to meet the minimum standards. and a memorial to the victims is growing just outside the campus. classes on campus have been canceled through next week. frank: commitment 2016. big buzz for democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders. a near capacity crowd of 20,000 at the boston convention center. as pam cross explains, the senator from vermont surprising some political experts with his highly competitive campaign. bernie sanders: i don't have a super pac. i don't want a super pac. and i don't need a super pac. i do not represent the agenda of

should not live in poverty. pam: sanders began this saturday by speaking to about 6,000 in springfield. he's leading in iowa and new hampshire polls. the vermont senator is trying to build donors and a political base in massachusetts. i'm pam cross, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: republicans on the road as well including carly fiorina. she was in new hampshire at the "american principles" project meeting. the group in hooksett wants to limit the powers of the federal government. fiorina: we've come to a place where our government is both inept and corrupt at what it is supposed to do, and inept and corrupt in doing things it is not supposed to do. antoinette: fiorina will meet with former bay state senator scott brown today and and hold a town hall meeting tonight. frank: g.o.p. presidential front-runner donald trump suggesting teachers should carry guns. at a campaign rally in

tennessee, trump said that if teachers has been armed during the mass shooting at a community college in oregon the incident would not have been as tragic. trump: by the way, it was a gun-free zone. i will tell you if you had a couple of the teachers or somebody with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a lot better off. frank: trump also vowed to uphold gun rights while attacking calls for more gun control. boston schools want a billion dollars to renovate its buildings. on this morning's "on the record," superintendent tommy chang explains how the system could come up with the money. chang: it is going to be costly. janet: will you go to private money as well or is it more you're talking about a tax hike? chang: we need to consider anything. on d.c.f. and what the agency doesn't do when a teacher reports abuse or neglect. that's o.t.r. today at 11:00 a.m. "5 investigates" inside the boston police ballistics unit. frank: the challenges facing

antoinette: "5 investigates" with a mother's quest to find out how the gun used to kill her son went from a legal sale into a killer's hands. the question sounds simple. the answer often impossible to get. frank: "5 investigates" karen anderson shows us the challenge of tracing guns. kim odom: steven's life mattered. karen: eight years after her 13-year-old son steven was shot and killed while walking home in boston, a question still haunts kim odom. kim odom: where did the gun come from? kathy: odom has learned even with state-of-the-art technology and dedicated investigators, gun sales are often invisible to law enforcement. "5 investigates" was granted access to the boston police ballistics unit where analysts test firearms and compare markings to a database of thousands of images. in the crime lab, they can even raise obliterated serial numbers. while we were there, they discovered a possible link between a gun that was just turned in and a recent crime.

have the gun that did very serious crimes in the city of boston. karen: boston police commissioner william evans. commissioner: we're taking them off the street. but the terrible part is as quick as we're doing that, others are coming in. karen: this is a .357 revolver, a high-powered handgun similar to the one that killed steven odom. investigators working to determine how that gun got into the killer's hands only found one legal sale in florida back in 1981. after that the gun's path a mystery for decades. special agent: how did they get the gun? who did they get that gun from? that's what our job is. karen: the special agent in charge of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives in boston works with police to trace crime guns, but tracking the history of a gun is no easy task because by law there's no federal gun registry. agent: that gun could have passed through a lot of hands in the last 20 years before it ultimately ended up in the hands of a criminal. kim odom: there's more

there are on the real mccoy. karen: through a.t.f. date "5 investigates" found more than half the guns linked to crimes in massachusetts originally were bought out of state. the most from new hampshire. where firearms involved in the shooting of kiley harriet and the man known as the craigslist killer were originally sold. most states, unlike massachusetts, have no requirements to document private sales of guns. john rosenthal is the founder of stop handgun violence. john rosenthal: the entire deck is stacked against law enforcement knowing where crime guns come from. commissioner: most of the guns we're recovering can't be traced to anyone because they change hands so many times. karen: police were able to find and prosecute the man who gave steven odom's killer the gun. but most of the gun's history is still unknown. kim odom: we're talking about someone's life. we're talking about a life. karen: the acting u.s. attorney

in new hampshire tells us he's aggressively prosecuting cases involving gun trafficking and karen anderson, "5 investigates." >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: i want to give you a joaquin. still a category 3 hurricane. just to the south of bermuda, effect. they're already feeling the outer edge of the rain bands. expecting 3-5 inches there. hurricane-force winds unfortunately later today. the one thing with this is it is progressing pretty quickly so it's going to pass by bermuda and then be closer to us by monday night into tuesday. but still very far off shore. not really impacting our weather. the big story for us is the temperature warm-up and more sunshine. today, however, still on the cool side. only in the mid 50's. by monday, 60. by tuesday back to seasonal average.

and then by wednesday 70 degrees. so warmer conditions on the way. not necessarily today though. a lot of clouds out there. some breaks of blue over boston. 53 degrees. but those winds are pumping out of the north and east. not as strong as yesterday so not really worried as much about the coast and the high tide coming at 5:06. but those winds going to keep temperatures cool. notice the gusts are up to near 30 miles an hour in boston. nantucket. so you'll feel the wind out there. today temperatures only climb into the mid to upper 50's. maybe making it to 61 degrees on nantucket. it is a mostly cloudy day. there could even be some patchy drizzle as we go through the afternoon from that on-shore wind. that stationary front though pulling farther to the south so high pressure regaining control and eventually it will clear out the clouds. but it takes its time doing so. so as we go through the day today, notice mostly cloudy skies.

the only exception may be southern new hampshire and then north and west of that seeing more sunshine. but we keep a couple of patchy areas of drizzle out there especially for the cape as well go through the afternoon and even into this evening and through the overnight. and even some fog out there tonight. temperatures will fall back into the 30's in spots. there actually is a frost advisory for tomorrow morning. out in western mass. you can see why as temperatures are very chilly to start monday. but as we go through the afternoon and a northerly track to the wind, we'll see temperatures warm into the low 60's, maybe even a few mid 60's out there on the map. and there is still going to be a lot of clouds out there for your monday. let me explain why. as we go through the day on monday here's what happens on our future cast. there's the hurricane. it's well off shore, but we keep clouds around especially for the eastern half of the state. there could still be a couple of areas of patchy drizzle especially in southeastern mass. but notice by monday night,

finally starting to clear things out. and once we do and once we see that sunshine, we dry things out on tuesday totally. 67 degrees. by wednesday we're up to 70 if not above in a lot of spots. we turn cooler on thursday. and our next chance for real significant rain holding off until friday and saturday. believe it or not, we still need that rain. antoinette and frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. 70 degrees on wednesday. antoinette: can't complain about that. frank: that's what we want to hear. moving. time right now is 8:48. checking more top stories happening right now. antoinette: students in northern california busted for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at their school. investigators believe the four students were targeting specific victims. the names of both students and staffers found on a so-called "hit list." police were tipped to the plot by other students who noticed the suspects acting suspiciously around the high school campus, russia is launching a new wave of airstrikes in syria. the strikes targeting isis and

this is what it was like in plymouth yesterday afternoon. this is long beach at high tide, and the surf was really up. plenty of splash-over too. flooding in some low-lying roads. but there is clearing ahead for us. danielle, some parts are already seeing those blue skies out there. danielle: antoinette and frank, good morning. yes, we are. you're starting to see breaks of sunshine out there, but there are a lot of clouds still. we have that stationary front moving farther to the south now. as for us, we're going to begin to clear out but it's going to take its time to do so. as we go through the day today, there could be some patchy drizzle especially on the east coast of massachusetts particularly the cape and the islands seeing that. but temperaturewise, we're starting in the 40's in worcester. 46 concord. and mid 50's already in boston. so with some sunshine, we should warm up but in boston with a strong, persistent wind out of the north and east, we're going to keep the clouds around and really hold temperatures steady in the mid 50's.

may be topping out at 61 on nantucket but a major warm-up is coming. we'll talk when we could see 70 in the search-day forecast. antoinette? antoinette: danielle, thank you. airmen killed in a plane crash the two were deployed out of hanscom air force base. frank: the pentagon has now as our jim lokay reports, the shock of the loss is still setting in. know. just beautiful. strong-hearted. strong-hearted. jim: this is how first class airman randy hobson wants the world to remember first class airman ksey ruiz. the 21-year-old lost her life in thursday's crash over afghanistan along with senior airman nathan sartain. both from hanscom, two of the six airmen killed along with five civilians. for hobson, losing ruiz is personal. >> we lived with each other for about, i'd say like three or four months before our paths crossed. it worked out pretty well. she defended the base. she maintained security for

you can probably hold it but then if you want to take the top of the bottle off, it would be enough friction that it would react. antoinette: fire officials say luckily the substance was found outside. normally safe disposal of picric acid can take several days inside labs. frank: five arrests in the chaos outside a worcester concert. police using pepper spray to break up the crowd outside the now we are learning more about how things went so wrong. a chaotic scene at a party venue in worcester, police used pepper spray on what they call an out-of-control crowd. >> they were just spraying-- >> --everybody in their eyes. >> they were saying, "we need an organized crowd." i said asked them, "do you have a microphone or anything to kind of get their attention.?"

release. police say the staff told worcester officers hired to work security some people were trying to use counterfeit tickets. police say the crowd also removed barriers used to organize lines, and several fights broke out. >> what happened here tonight was just a bunch of college kids, you know, just acting reckless in front of the door. so the police had to shut it down. frank: all officers in the city were called to the scene. a dozen mass state police troopers and a k9 also called to assist. promoters then decided to end the party early. according to police, that did not sit well with the people outside who paid as much as $30 a ticket. police say the pepper spray was deployed in the air to get the crowd to move. no one was sprayed directly. >> once they were pepper spraying, i just closed my eyes and ran. everybody's eyes were burning. everybody was screaming. frank: five men between the ages of 18 and 23 were arrested. all charged with disorderly conduct. frank: the bay state is cracking down on underage college drinking, launching its "operation safe campus" initiative. the state's alcoholic beverages

the brunt of a stubborn storm. take a look at this drone video over charlestown. downtown charleston is closed to incoming traffic. rain has washed out some bridges, flooded roads, and left some drivers stranded. the torrential, record-setting rains are causing issues as far north as new jersey. president obama has declared a state of emergency in south carolina and ordered federal aid to help state and local efforts. these images just in from the bahamas showing the power of hurricane joaquin. the storm destroyed an airport terminal littering the tarmac with shattered wood and crumbled metal. the powerful storm stalled over the islands. the full extent of the damage is still unknown. antoinette: it seemed like joaquin sat over the bahamas for days. danielle: unfortunately it sat there. now it's headed to the north and east and bermuda is under hurricane warnings. already getting the initial bands. closer to home, the rain that we've been seeing the last couple of days finally letting up a bit. the clouds beginning to clear out just a touch. so we are seeing breaks of sun out there today although most of

us will have a lot of cloud cover throughout the afternoon. now there is a low risk of some rain later today as well as for tomorrow. the best chances going to be at the coastline especially today. tomorrow really southeastern mass. the best chances. it's just really patchy drizzle or spotty showers. not expecting much. you can still go about your business and go outside and do your outdoor activities. just grab a coat because it's cool right now. here is joaquin. you can see it just to the south of bermuda. we're going on talk about that in just a second. the stationary front finally back to the south as well. high pressure giving us a strong northeastly breeze today. so you'll notice it. it's also bringing in low-level moisture and clouds especially plaguing the coast. so as we go through the afternoon today, some places like western mass, southwest new hampshire could see some sunshine like worcester county is already seeing it too. and then as we go towards, like say, dinner time or so, the cape and the islands could get in on

this patchy drizzle. and through the overnight hours as well with some fog developing there too. in terms of what we're seeing though this morning, loving these pictures coming in from the cape from charles. thank you for sending me that one. bonnie showing me bright blue skies over plymouth. then you have clouded over a couple of minutes ago. milbury also picking up some clouds with some sunshine breaking through. and more pictures from the cape showing more clouds pushing on in. so thank you again. continue to tweet and facebake me your picks. starting out the day in the 40's and 50's. 50's along the south shore in plymouth. 56 on nantucket. 40's though up through keene, orange, and those winds have been persistent. they continue to gust to near 30 in boston. near 30 on nantucket. not as strong as yesterday so we're not really as concerned with high tide at 5:06 today. like yesterday when we saw the minor splashover. but these winds will continue through the afternoon even in boston. finally backing down as we head

tomorrow afternoon. highs today only in the low to mid 50's. and then tonight we will see temperatures drop into the 30's. staying in the low 50's along the cape and the islands. again tomorrow morning, there could be some frost out in western massachusetts. that's why we actually have a frost advisory for them. high temperatures tomorrow only climbing into the low to mid 60's. we'll see a little more sunshine i think tomorrow. most of us start to dry out. that's the trend. eventually we see a lot of sunshine come tuesday and temperatures start to warm up really nicely. take a look at wednesday's high temperatures. with a wind out of the west, we'll see the temperatures return to the upper 60's and low 70's. i know everybody is looking forward to that. we turn cooler on thursday. and our next chance for significant rain coming friday into saturday. we're down over 5.5 inches for the year still. so we still need it. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. time is 9:15.

here are some of the stories we are following right now. frank: one person is dead and eight others are injured after a gas explosion in new york city. it happened inside a three-story apartment building in brooklyn. the front of the building was blown into the street. fire officials suspect a recently disconnected stove may have caused the blast. the person killed, a woman in her 60's, lived on the floor above. antoinette: another shooting on an arizona freeway. but investigators do not believe this incident is connected with the dozen of other highway shootings over the past few weeks. a driver claims someone fired off seven shots at his car. investigators believe the shooting may be a case of road rage. the victim believes the other driver was angry because he was not going fast enough. frank: state officials in washington are suspending duck tours in seattle. the move comes after a deadly accident last month. five people were killed and dozens more hurt when one of the duck vehicles crashed into a tour bus. now the state wants the company's entire fleet inspected. the tour operator had already suspended the rides out of respect for the victims. antoinette: hackers may be trying to access your wifi

but researchers at the cybersecurity firm symantec say these hackers are actually trying to protect you. the group is changing passwords in an attempt to force owners to wake up and secure their internet access. but the hackers are also installing software that kills malware and triggers protective reboots on routers. experts say while the intent of the hackers is good, their actions are still illegal. your wallet may look the same but how you use our debit and credit cards. frank: as newscenter 5's ed harding explains in some case u.s. won't need a card at all. >> this change is coming, and it's coming soon. ed: a revolution at the register. that's the little chip. instead of swiping your card, soon retailers will ask you to dip the chip. it does take a couple seconds so that will be another behavior change for all of us.

in fact, you may already have these new chip cards in your wallet. here's how it works. retailers will ask you to dip the chip card into a special terminal. that terminal creates a unique transaction code to send to the bank. since the code changes every time you use your card, industry experts says this process is significantly more secure. >> by 2018, virtually every card that we have in our wallet will have a chip in it. pressure to get with the program. starting this week any store not using chip dippers could be on the hook for theft involving the >> that's a pretty powerful incentive for merchants to upgrade because right now, issuers are absorbing over $ 3 billion dollars of credit card fraud every year. pretty soon you may not need a card at all. >> i preset my $20 transaction. i pick cardless cash. now use their phone to withdraw cash from an a.t.m. the bank's app creates a unique code that's read by the a.t.m. will be the tool of choice as we move forward. more convenient, salem five says it's more

secure. >> they are never putting their card in. they're never entering their pin. so all of the traditional skimming transactions are no longer at risk. ed: and customers are less likely to misplace their phone. >> you would know you lost your phone long before you'd notice you lost your credit card or your debit card. frank: salem 5 tells ed any customer using its mobile app already has access to cardless cash. the number of people using it antoinette: a controversial move by a new hampshire college. saint anslem wants to move its sports teams down from division two to three. but not everyone is on board with the decision. some families say they only learned about the status change when the college submitted its application to the ncaa. >> the students that were recruited to come here were recruited under the illusion they would compete at a high level. now they are cheated of that opportunity. >> this is a good thing that people are speaking up. we want to hear from them because the board has to make an informed decision at some point if an invitation is awarded to us. antoinette: the college says it is only exploring the possibility, and it will take

months for the ncaa to make a decision. the college president adds the division change gives the school more options for how it distributes scholarship money. frank: today is the final game of the season for the sox and for the team's play-by-play guy. before last night's game against cleveland, don orsillo tweeted a video message from an old friend and former sox skipper terry terry francona: don, i just want to wish you well in your last red sox game. on a personal note, if you could stop by before you leave tomorrow and drop off a highlight tape so if i have trouble sleeping over the winter, that always helps. never ceases to amaze me how some of your calls can put me to sleep just like that. being really serious, it's fun watching you guys. i'm glad i got to be a little bit of a part of that. take care.

frank: nice message from tito a rough night for the sox in brock holt takes one off the he had to be helped off the saying it's just a bruise. the indians getting the only offense of the game. carlos santana with a solo homer off craig breslow in the second. two innings later, it was ryan indians shut out the sox 2-0. the final game today in cleveland. first pitch at 3:10. antoinette: it's considered one of the most photographed events in the world. frank: tens of thousands of watch the international balloon fiesta. more than 500 balloons filling star wars fans well represented with darth vader and yoda balloons. of states and nearly 20 different countries. even after nightfall the show is pretty spectacular. even earl any the morning, you said, antoinette. antoinette: what they call the dawn patrol. you know what the best part about that balloon fiesta is? the food. the breakfast burritos and the donoughts. that wakes you up at 5:00 in the morning.

reported to us that the cause of death was suicide. antoinette: the shooter lived tried to become a soldier. but in 2008 just one month into basic training, the military discharged him for failing to meet the minimum standards. and a memorial to the victims is growing just outside the campus. classes on campus have been canceled through next week. frank: commitment 2016. big buzz for democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders. a near capacity crowd of 20,000 at the boston convention center. as pam cross explains, the senator from vermont surprising some political experts with his highly competitive campaign. bernie sanders: i don't have a super pac. i don't want a super pac. and i don't need a super pac. i do not represent the agenda of the billionaire class or corporate america, and i don't want their money. pam: they packed the convention center to overflowing. bernie sanders's appeal to a younger demographic is clear as

his supporters assemble. this saturday night date one of his biggest events so far. many waiting to hear sanders hit on many themes including diversity of his people. bernie sanders: while the millionaires and billionaires may have more money than we do. we have something that they don't have. look around this room. this is what we have. >> i think it's very concerning to us that a lot of people not just in the u.s. but globally don't share the same privileges that we do, don't have the same access to medicine and health care that we do. >> he's a different voice. he's a socialist and i love that. bernie sanders: it is not a left wing extremist ideal to say if somebody in this country works 40 hours a week that that person should not live in poverty. pam: sanders began this saturday by speaking to about 6,000 in springfield. he's leading in iowa and new hampshire polls. the vermont senator is trying to build donors and a political base in massachusetts.

i'm pam cross, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: republicans on the road as well including carly fiorina. she was in new hampshire at the "american principles" project meeting. the group in hooksett wants to limit the powers of the federal government. fiorina: we've come to a place where our government is both inept and corrupt at what it is supposed to do, and inept and corrupt in doing things it is not supposed to do. antoinette: fiorina will meet with former bay state senator scott brown today and and hold a town hall meeting tonight. frank: g.o.p. presidential front-runner donald trump suggesting teachers should carry guns. at a campaign rally in tennessee, trump said that if teachers has been armed during the mass shooting at a community college in oregon the incident would not have been as tragic. trump: by the way, it was a gun-free zone. i will tell you if you had a couple of the teachers or somebody with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a

lot better off. frank: trump also vowed to uphold gun rights while attacking calls for more gun control. antoinette: children in crisis. antoinette: boston schools want a billion dollars to renovate on this morning's "on the chang explains how the system could come up with the money. chang: it is going to be costly. janet: will you go to private money as well or is it more you're talking about a tax hike? chang: we need to consider anything. antoinette: chang also weighs in on d.c.f. and what the agency doesn't do when a teacher reports abuse or neglect. that's o.t.r. today at 11:00 a.m. antoinette: a high school shooting plot foiled. the apparent targets and now the suspect got busted. danielle: cloudy today but clearing is coming.

antoinette: students in northern california busted for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at their school. investigators believe the four students were targeting specific victims.

"hit list." police were tipped to the plot by other students who noticed the suspects acting suspiciously around the high school campus, a "5 investigates" exclusive. questions this morning about a company that, until just weeks ago, was one of the largest providers of medical transportation in the state. frank: investigative reporter kathy curran has details. kathy: we're talking about a company that was paid millions in tax dollars to drive people on mass health to medical appointments, but sources tell us that company rite-way is under investigation by multiple state agencies. the rite-way vehicles parked in this lot in avon aren't going anywhere any time soon. sources tell "5 investigates" the attorney general's office is looking into the way the company recruited clients and whether they billed for services not provided. rite-way abruptly stopped giving rides to thousands of clients statewide three weeks ago. laurie gregory: i was told to let my drivers know that we were closed until further notice. kathy: rite-way manager laurie gregory was shocked when she got the call at her cape cod office.

everything is on the up-and-up. laurie gregory: i knew that i was doing everything appropriately that needed to be done. i know some stuff was being said, but i knew none of that was true because i did my job the right way. the people in the other parts of the company, like different areas, they all did their job the right way. kathy: records obtained by "5 investigates" show rite-way billed the state far more than any of its competitors. the transportation company's billing to the state skyrocketed from just $375,000 a year in 2012 to nearly $16 million this past fiscal year. a figure five times bigger than any other provider of non-emergency transportation. we tried to talk to rite-way

vacation home on an island in rindge, new hampshire, as his boat was being hauled out of the water, but davini wasn't home. in a statement davini says, "we have always done our best to act fully within the law, and we expect that this will be confirmed by a complete investigation." john cardoza: it just got shut down so suddenly. kathy: rite-way's abrupt closing has caused many problems for clients like john cardoza who used the company to get to a methadone clinic on the cape. john cardoza: they dropped us off. everything was fine. then like an hour later, i find out everything is gone. kathy: we've learned both the a.g. and the auditor are investigating. both declined to comment. mass health members who use rite-way and need services can call 844-748-3928. kathy curran, "5 investigates." >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: we've been watching

now making its approach towards bermuda. a hurricane warning issued for those folks and already getting the outer edges and heavy rain expected there anywhere from 3-5 inches. and hurricane-force winds as we head through the later half of today and tonight for those folks. still a category 3 with winds of 115. so it has weakend just a touch. starting to pick up speed. that's good news. it can quickly pull on out of here. as it gets closer to us, it will do so late monday into tuesday. look how far away it is for our coast. really if anything we're looking for maybe some rip-current risk to be at a higher level. the big story at home is temperatures are on the way up. and we're going to see more sunshine each and every day. but today still running below average in the mid 50's. tomorrow below average at 60. but by wednesday 70 degrees. and you look over boston, seeing some breaks of blue out there. there are some clouds though. we'll continue to leave clouds

through the afternoon and into this evening. the big story, too, is these winds. still very strong. not as strong as yesterday though. so not as concerned for high tide today. as we were yesterday. and there's no wind advisory either. but still some gusty winds out there. up to about 32-mile-per-hour winds now. on the cape, 24-mile-per-hour winds in worcester. so strong northeastly winds bringing in some clouds. maybe even some patchy drizzle. temperatures warming up into the mid 50's in boston. lower 50's in worcester. and near 60 maybe on nantucket. and again just some clouds around right now. we're going to see more of them continue to return. that stationary front moving farther to the south so really for us it's high pressure which eventually will win out and dominate bringing us more sunshine as we get to, say, monday night and then into tuesday. let me show you the future cast for today. notice more clouds pushing on in

it is keeping, you know, more sunshine now. worcester and points west. worcester is already seeing that sun. so southwest new hampshire, worcester, you're going to be under sunshine. a lot of you folks though living by the coast going to have to deal with the clouds and then notice there could be a couple of isolated showers or patchy drizzle tonight and through the overnight hours along the cape and the islands. tonight we drop back into the 30's and 40's. tomorrow with a northerly wind, we start to warm things up into the low to even mid 60's in some locations. so not a bad-looking day. now tomorrow with joaquin passing off shore, we are watching for some clouds continuing unfortunately to persist the farther east you live, but as we get towards, say, monday night, you notice they're starting to retreat finally. we start to see lots of sunshine on tuesday. tuesday is totally dry. wednesday we're way warmer. we're near 70 degrees if not above. it doesn't last for too long though because we fall back into

the low 60's by thursday with our next chance for rain holding off come friday night into saturday. frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. we'll take it. the sox shut out in cleveland. holt. he takes one off the knee and but the medical staff is saying the indians getting the only offense of the game. carlos santana with a solo homer off craig breslow in the second. two innings later, it was ryan raburn's turn. indians shut out the sox 2-0. the final game today in cleveland. first pitch at 3:10. how about the nationals' max scherzer. 17 k's. he had no walks. the only base runner coming on a fielding error. another flirt with perfection, his second no-hitter of the season. and he's only the fifth pitcher to do so. not exactly the confidence booster the mets were looking for heading into the playoffs. antoinette: hubway is getting ready to roll out nearly a dozen new stations across boston.

to charlestown. hubway now has about 13,000 members. the new locations will be put in place this week. a new twist in the search for a missing cargo ship. frank: the item rescuers found floating in the rough seas. i thought southern new hampshire university was only online. but then i visited p and saw that there was this amazing campus, with a great campus culture. r the community was just amazing, p i really feel like this is my family. i've made so many friends here, r friends that i know i'll have for life. p i have everything i need to succeed right here. r there's always something happening here. this is such a fun place to be. p everybody really loves what they're doing here.

of the boston music scene for decades. the beachcomber will be demolished to make way for a high-end restaurant which will be constructed on higher ground to escape the flood zone on quincy shore drive. frank: break out the salsa and guacamole! today is national taco day. the national taco day web site-- yes, that's a thing-- says 4.5 billion tacos were served in the u.s. last year. danielle, you're the scientist here. that equals to about 490,000 miles of tacos--enough to take to you to the moon and back. antoinette: or enough for right? it's about the same thing. lunch. danielle: i'm ready for it. hey, how about if you want to do something outside today, you probably can because most of us staying dry today with sunshine breaking through the clouds. especially in worcester county and southern new hampshire. it's going to be breezy though. there could be some drizzle by the coast.

"this week" with george stephanapolous is next. john: that is followed by "on the record" and then "city line" at noon. have yourself a great day. wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: achieving a lifelong boehner seemed deeply moved watching pope francis speak to a joint session of congress. the next day, he resigned. although boehner claims the

decision was finalized months earlier, while listening to the pope's call for a renewed spirit of fraternity, one can't help but wonder if the speaker was reminded just how dismal that prospect seems for the legislative body he presides over. during boehner's five-year tenure as speaker, a small but vociferous tea party-inspired group of representatives has increasingly stymied his leadership. boehner's been forced to repeatedly engage in ideologically-driven-- but politically unwinnable-- battles, one of which resulted in a damaging government shutdown in 2013. this fall promises more of the same on capitol hill. boehner has had enough. and who can blame him? whatever you may think about his leadership skills, few would accuse boehner of not caring deeply about the institution of congress. nevertheless, he knows firsthand just how far the public's respect for the house and senate has plunged. it's no coincidence that all three of the leading g.o.p. presidential candidates have

boehner also pulled no punches, referring to ultra-conservatives as "false prophets" willing to compromise less and less and holding little value at all for actual governance. by the end of october, such scorched-earth, political zealotry will no longer be boehner's problem, resting instead with the new speaker and ultimately the nation as well. pope francis called on congress to cooperate "generously for the public good." although that's unlikely given the recent past, here's hoping its most intractable members heed his words, if not their own outgoing speaker's final and
